This game is confusing me! First people hate it, then love it, then 3 million people buy it and they fix a lot of stuff really fast. But some people hate it still.

I kinda want to try it for myself, got a dry spell between PoE leagues anyway. Worth the box price?
Yes. Starts a bit slow, can feel a bit janky, but if you interact with all of what the game offers, its very good.

I haven't bought the game yet, but been reading the thread and was surprised no one shared this.

Y'know, for people looking for realism...

...keeping in mind someone had to go out of their way to program this.

Maybe ill have to try this. BDO had a crazy control scheme to get used to at first, so many buttons and combos of buttons when fighting. Curious anyone play that and try this? They comparable control wise, or is it worse? I still play BDO on occasion, still a fun game and could always look amazing if you turned everything up.

I had hoped for just BDO single player, but it sounds like a completely different control scheme. But then, as said, I haven't played yet.

They stole a lot of animations from BDO classes and even use the whole AP/DP scheme. But other than that, it plays quite a bit differently.

Makes sense as it was going to be BDO 2 basically before they went to this single player idea. An MMO might of brought more money, though maybe they thought why compete with ourself and just make a standalone game that people will play at the same time. One single player game and one persistent online game. The former might get people to try the latter and vice versa, especially if you give rewards for the other in each.

Pretty sure I covered this is a previous post. Yes, I'm playing both (BDO afk fishing --while CD is running!-- and a daily hour grind to burn agris) The combat is similar. W+LMB does a move, LMB+RMB does another move, blah blah. You aren't locked to face forward in CD so you don't have the S+button moves, CD is alot more limited in that respect. However, once you add back in the martial arts/wrestling moves it can become more intense.
